Crush Of The Week: Finding Carter Cutie Alex Saxon

With that shaggy hair, those light eyes, and that whole mysterious thing going for him, it's no surprise that Alex Saxon always gets the girl on your fave shows.

Where you know him from:

Alex plays Wyatt on ABC Family's The Fosters and now Max on MTV's Finding Carter. On The Fosters, Wyatt and Callie (Maia Mitchell) have been through some major ups and downs, and while they finally seem to have a good rhythm, the question is will it last? (PLEASE?!) "I think Wyatt loves Callie more than anything," Alex told us. "I think he's sincere, and that's something that I strive for, to have honesty in relationships."

Why you'll be seeing a lot more of him:

With all that Callie's going through on The Fosters, Wyatt provides the stability she needs to get through it. As Max on Finding Carter, he plays a similar role for Carter, after she finds out that the woman she thought was her "mother" kidnapped her when she was 3 and goes to live with her biological family. Talk about traumatic! "Max is sort of the stay-over from her former life," Alex explained. "He was a one-episode guest star for the pilot, and then I found out that they were going to bring him back once the show got picked up."

First kiss:

Alex's first kiss feels like a move straight out of Wyatt's playbook. He brought his crush back to an old van in the woods that he and his friends had turned into a fort for chill sessions. "Growing up in Missouri, we had a lot of land, so those were the kinds of things we had access to," he explained. And the kiss? Better than he could have imagined! "I'd wanted to kiss her for a very long time," he revealed. "It was kind of spectacular in that respect."

Dream date:

Alex's perfect date fits his go-with-the-flow personality. "The best dates [I've had], it didn't matter what the plan was, whether it was just a walk or a trip to an art museum," he said. "I like going someplace where you can talk and get to know the person, and everything else kind of dissolves around you."

Where you'll find him when he's not on set:

This guy is equal parts smarts and muscle. He loves to read, but also seriously knows how to hold a hammer and saw. When he lived in Missouri, he had his own workshop, and made everything from furniture to rafts and boats and even little trinkets for his mom (aww). "Some of my best memories are on this raft that my best friend and I built at 13 or 14," he said. "We had a lot of beta testing. We would take it in the water, and it would sink, so we would take it back and keep redesigning. By the end of that experience, I was really proud of it."
